Poland to receive HIMARS rocket launchers on Monday - minister

Poland will take delivery of its first HIMARS rocket launchers on Monday, defense minister Mariusz Blaszczak said on Sunday, confirming earlier announcements that they would arrive mid-May.

The US State Department in February approved the potential sale of long-range missiles, rockets, and launchers to Poland, including 18 HIMARS launchers.

"Tomorrow, the first HIMARS launchers will be in Poland," Blaszczak said, having announced this month that Poland would establish a HIMARS service center for the maintenance of the launchers.
